Steps Taken to Secure Railroad, Roll

ing MILL furnace and Collage.
A few Of the representative bust
ness men OF our city met in Taylor &
Bakers Office last Friday to take nec-
essary steps to secure some very i'm
portant enterprises to Johnson City.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr., f. P. Baxter, who was made
chairman and Cy H. Lyle Secreta-
ry. In stating the object OF the meeting
Mr.. Baxter said that Messrs. Teegar-
den and Finney, the Chicago CAPT
talists who have found a rich vein of
magnetic iron ore about eight miles
from Hampton, contemplate building
railroad from Valley Forge, where
they will build a charcoal furnace,
and thence to some point on the E. I.
V. & G. r. R. where they will build
100-ton coke furnace and a rolling
mill. They have been looking out a
location for their plants and have
taken an option on some land at
Carriers Depot but have not decided
where they will so as yet but of
course will be controlled in this
matter by their best interest Johnson
City has advantages that no other
town The G. G. & c., railroad will
enable them to get the very best
cooking coal here cheaper than any
place in East Tennessee, and for this
and other reasons they can make pig
iron here at the nominal sum Of eight
dollars per ton.
A gentleman in direct communica
ton with Messrs. Teegarden & Finney
stated that they could be induced to
come to Johnson City and locate.
Knowing these gentlemen to be men
of unlimited capital and that their
enterprises would be valuable add.
tons to any town the citizens of John
son City, with their usual enterprise,
determined te take opportunity by
the forelock and secure them if posi-
ole. A committee consisting of Col.
r. +. Matson, j. f. Crandall Capt, S.
II. Harris, G. K, Lide and J. w. Be-
ring was appointed to consult with
these gentlemen and make them such
propositions as would induce them to
locate here.
Another object OF the meeting, as
stated by Mr.. Baxter, was to take
some steps to secure Johnson City
an educational institution. He stated
that Prof. Smith, Superintendent
of Public instruction, offers to move
to Johnson City and build a school
building and conduct hrst-class
school ii the citizens will donate the
ground necessary for the buildings.
Johnson City is badly in need of a
good school, and as Prof, Smith is one
of the best educators in the state any
chance to secure him will be eagerly
taken advantage OF. Hon A. A. Tay-
Tor, ]. +. Crandall and DIR. S, IL Toy
we're appointed a committee to cores
pond with Prof. Smith and have him
make direct propositions and submit
plan Of building, &c. There is not a
town in East Tennessee possessed
with more determination than our
little city and it generally manages to
catch everything Of importance that

THERE COMES A TIME.

There comes time when We grow old.
And like sunset down the sea
Slope gradual, and the nightwinds cold
Come whispering sid and chillingly:
And locks are gray
Az winters day.
And eyes Of saddest blue behold
The leaves oil weary drift away,
And lips Of faded coral say,
There comes . time when We grow old.
There comes time when joyous hearts,
Which leaped as leaps the laughing main,
Are dead to al rave memory,
Az prisoner in his dungeon chain:
And dawn or day
Hath passed away.
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And BY the embers wan and gray,
hear . voice in whisper say,
There comes time when We grow old.
There comes ! time when manhood's prime
ls shrouded In the mist of years,
And beauty. fading like dream.
Hath parsed away in silent tears;
And then how dark.
But. OH the spark
That kindled youth to hues OF gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray.
And fond affections, lingering say,
There comes time when We grow old.
There comes time when laughing Spring
And golden Summer ceases to b,
And We put on the Autumn robe,
To tread the last declivity;
But now the slope,
With rofy Hope.
Beyond the sunset We behold
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watchers whisper through the nigh
There comes time when we grow old.
